Yatsugatake Brewery Announces a Collaboration for Fukushima Meat Festival 2026
Yatsugatake Brewery shared details about the Fukushima Meat Festival 2026, held from June 19 to 21 at Machinaka Square in Fukushima City. The event page and store lineup highlight a collaboration featuring Miyashita Tentsu’s 102 fried chicken and Yatsugatake Touchdown draft beer.
Hop BroToday’s topic is Fukushima Meat Festival 2026. Yatsugatake Brewery has announced a pretty tempting appearance at Fukushima City Machinaka Hiroba from June 19 to June 21.
MugiWhat? A three-day meat party with craft beer too? My stomach is already trying to line up early!
Hop BroAnd the big draw is the Miyashita Tentu collab. Tsugaru Bakushu, a craft beer shop in Fukushima, is pairing 102 Date chicken karaage by Miyashita Tentu, aka 102, with draft Yatsugatake Touchdown.
MugiNo way! Karaage and draft beer were planned together from the start? That idea is winning way too hard!
Hop BroExactly. Yatsugatake Brewery is also known for its malt-centric approach, so Yatsugatake Touchdown is brewed to really bring out rich malt character.
MugiHold on, malt-centric sounds like a special attack name! What does that actually taste like?
Hop BroIn simple terms, it means malt takes center stage. The brewery sits at 1,230 meters in Kiyosato Highlands and uses natural water from the southern foot of Yatsugatake, so the beer can stand up to rich meat dishes.
MugiWow! Beer brewed with highland natural water meeting a Fukushima meat festival feels like a traveling pint with great timing!
Hop BroThe article doesn’t list specific labels yet, but it does clearly announce draft Yatsugatake Touchdown at the venue. Even without a named style, that malt depth should work beautifully with fried food.
MugiI can already feel a festival in my mouth just imagining it! A bite of crispy 102 karaage and a pull of Yatsugatake Touchdown sounds perfect.
Hop BroA beer polished in the Yamanashi highlands showing up in Fukushima makes for an ideal pairing across regions. That’s the kind of event that makes you want a pint immediately.
MugiYep, I’m fully in I need that beer now mode! I can already picture us chasing draft pours through the smell of sizzling meat!
Yatsugatake Brewery, based in Hokuto, Yamanashi, posted information about the upcoming Fukushima Meat Festival 2026, scheduled for June 19-21 at Machinaka Square in Fukushima City. The festival’s official site describes it as a three-day event centered on dishes made with Fukushima beef, pork, and chicken.
In the exhibitor lineup, the Fukushima craft beer bar Tsugaru Beer is listed with a collaboration involving Miyashita Tentsu, also known as “102,” from Yatsugatake Touchdown. The menu includes 102 Date chicken karaage and Yatsugatake Touchdown craft beer, making the beer-and-fried-chicken pairing a clear part of the offering. Yatsugatake Brewery’s own post also points visitors to the event and mentions 102 karaage.
Yatsugatake Brewery operates from Kiyosato Highland at an elevation of 1,230 meters, using clear natural water from the Yatsugatake foothills. Since its founding in 1997, the brewery has focused on a malt-centric brewing philosophy that aims to bring out the depth and flavor of malt. The Fukushima event adds a regional crossover angle to that story, pairing a highland brewery’s beer with a festival built around local meat dishes.
